Designing and Planting a PERENNIAL, POLLINATOR GARDEN

Designing and Planting a PERENNIAL, POLLINATOR GARDEN - Ep. 062

Рет қаралды 23,102

Күн бұрын

Since we had leftover time after removing the sod for the bulb planting area, we figured we would utilize those free moments to take up an area in the front yard that would eventually become a perennial pollinator garden and herb garden. This video showcases more of our thinking around its design and planting with some before and after shots.

Yes, we're really looking forward to its more mature state. Even next year summer should be a better show. This was so end of year. It was exciting to see the Sacbiosa and Verbena still in bloom though so late. The bumblebees were thankful for those flowers. We even had a very late season monarch come through.

Saunder's talk on the 'why' behind the paths is just what I needed! Great idea on your thoughts behind your 'dried up river bed' walkway. The level of detail that you guys contribute to the garden and to the filming is just a lovely way to think about the garden and incredible to watch. Thank you for sharing your journey.

Thirty years ago I used stones from my grandparents farm to create areas for my flower gardens. Unfortunately over time the stones sunk into the soil which is something I wanted to share. What I do now is put landscape fabric under my stones and pea gravel areas to hold them up longer. I love collecting stones, especially ones with multi colours or quartz. I think they make a garden more interesting, as well as driftwood. Your projects are on a huge scale and are very impressive to watch. I’m enjoying every minute on this channel. So much fabulous content. (I’m behind on episodes and am watching the oldest ones first).

The sound the bumblebees made on the Anemones before they lost their flowers was DEAFENING (in a good way). Between this and the bulb lawn, we cannot wait for the sound of the bees and other pollinators.

@@FlockFingerLakes Woah! We have Linden.. whatever that is in English? trees.. Maybe Sander knows them...have a nice scent sometimes. White blossoms and I saw at least 4 kinds of honey bees come to make a powerful buzz up there on top. Lots were exhausted? (why? working too hard or carrying too much pollen?) crawling on the ground and my dog stepped on one or more. She got stung and then she was shaking,walking on only 3 legs. It wore off by the time the vet saw her. Next year we will admire all that nature from a distance. We have 2 beekeepers close by... Maybe you should suit up in the Spring with the beekeepers bonnet etc. You have 70,000 bees buying tickets for that concert. But first this message from Winter... 🎄🎇❄️🌬️☃️

I'm really invested in you guys's journey and how everything will look like. It's really amazing seeing in 3 days the progress of one year that you've been doing in your property. This is very inspiring and I hope it's something I can do myself someday too. Many thanks (for sharing your amazing journey) and much love from this dreamy 22 yo from Brazil.

I love it! Thank you for posting names. I saved this video for future idea reference for next spring. Love the rock design with cute little nooks. I created several flower beds around the same time, was planting till the end of October. It was definitely a rush trying to get everything in before a freeze. Still so much space to fill in. Finally finished mulching mid November. We got lucky this year with such a beautiful warm fall. I could just spend hours planting beautiful things but man my body hurts for days after lol 😂 It’s so crazy you look so much like my sister n law definitely a doppelgänger. I had some plants dug up completely also. I think it’s the bio tone they like cuz I had a baby hydrangea they ate the whole bottom off. I think it was my dog or raccoon, not sure. It will be so much fun watching these gardens grow filling in. So beautiful!!

Pretty! I'd like to increase my garden's biodiversity over time. I get so many weeds in a rock path even with weed fabric under it. I wonder if planting ground covers that can grow in rocks would help crowd out weeds?

@FlockFingerLakes 2 жыл бұрын

I think no matter what you'll get the errant dandelion seed or wild lettuce that comes in and germinates between the cracks and in between the thyme leaves. We will probably be blissfully without weeds here for another year because we took the sod up and put such a dense covering of compost, toposil, sand mix with aged bark mulch, but will likely get the grass and others encroaching on the edges of the bed. Goal though is for this to be so dense with plantings that hopefully folks won't notice the ones that aren't supposed to be there. We'll see!

why not kill the lawn with black plastic instead of all the sod removal?, The remaining dead sod/soil is reusable as it sits, just get advice on how to plant your next crop in that nice dead root system/humus
